　　Masters of Science in Economics:

　　The University offers both a Masters of Science and a PhD in Economics, but the Economics Department does not offer separate Masters and PhD level classes. Thus, our Masters students must have the backgrounds to do PhD level course work. Many of the students in our Masters program were previously admitted to a Ph.D. or professional program at UNC. For example, students in the Finance Ph.D. program at UNC often enter our Masters program and earn a Masters of Science in Economics along with a PhD in Finance. We admit Masters students who are not in other UNC programs, but, as mentioned, the students must have very strong backgrounds in economics and mathematics.
